Nut Carriage
After the heavy rain is a dull afternoon for taking trek pics, I hope you like the high-key saturation and contrast here to counter the boring shot :)

Composition:
Model: Canon PowerShot A640
Software: Adobe Photoshop CS3
Exposure Time: 1/25
F-Stop: f/2.8
Focal Length: 7300/1000 mm
Metering Mode: Pattern

Pp work:
1. crop
2. copy layer then saturate by Curves
3. erase overexposed areas due to saturation on the top layer
4. resize
5. sharpen the subject (not the BG)
6. resize for TL

Quote of the Day:
"I say to young photographers, 'What in God's name are you doing, taking a picture of a tree or a mountain? That's crazy! What you should do is take a person by the hand and show him the tree or the mountain itself. Why show him a stupid picture? It's flat and it's tiny compared to the mountain. The mountain is magnificent and has power . . .' They look at me as if I'm nuts. They don't know what to say back to me. So I go on to say that the reason you show someone a photograph is because a photograph is part of a human being--you--and as people we're more interested in human beings than we are in mountains. By showing a picture, you're showing an x-ray of your heart. The very silent, marvelous American painter, Edward Hopper, put it very simply. He said, 'The work's the man. You can't get something out of nothing.'" -Ralph Steiner

Cool shot Freddie, though I swear this looks like a carabao cart in the Philippines! Good work on the saturation/ sharpening/ metering, interesting subject.
Thanks for sharing it

Indeed Fred, I do like this one more than the original photo.
Particularly the woodwork shows more " character "

Very well done
